Whiskey Hot Toddy recipe

I've been feeling under the weather all week, and with a bad storm setting in I wanted a hot drink to soothe my sore throat and ensure I sleep well (which I didn't last night). Having made a single in a big mug with double honey, I think I've found the "cure" and have even forwarded the recipe on to friends! Yum!
No bitters or clove I found though, so I just added 1oz Jim Beam to the traditional honey 'n' lemon: delicious!

Is it supposed to burn your nose if you accidentally sniff it as you raise it to your lips? I guess it did help clean my sinuses! :)

My husband had felt bad for a week, even went to the doctors office, and took over the counter medications but nothing seemed to work. So family and friends told him about the famous "hot toddy". He drank up and who would have known that it actually works, but has an awful taste !!

I love this drink. I usually order it at bars in the winter time. It is absolutely wonderful.

I add a cinnamon stick, and it always does the trick when I have a cold and need to clear out my nasal passages, soothe my throat, and help me fall asleep. It works better than Nyquil any day!

I went through a package of Ludins and almost a whole bottle of Advil liquid gels before I tried this. Worked perfectly. I didn't use the slice of lemon or the cloves.

I feel like a totally new person today after drinking this, I'm just not telling my boss so she won't let me work from home next time.

I was sicker than than a dog when a few years ago, an elderly friend of mine told me about the hot toddy and although I was apprehensive at first, I thought "what the heck". As bad as I was feeling, I was willing to try anything and since I highly respected my friend, I listened. So, far several years when I would would feel as bad as I did yesterday, I would measure the ingredients precisely and every single time, this cure would work for me. The only difference for me was that the recipe I use has only these ingredients: whiskey, lemon juice, honey, and hot water. When you feel like you are coming down with flu symptoms or just feel like crap, this really works. Whiskey makes me gag since I got really drunk on it one time so I hate it. But it is the only thing that works for me in hot toddy. Good luck!
